ACCESS Newswire (NYSEAMERICAN:ACCS) Issues Earnings Results

ACCESS Newswire (NYSEAMERICAN:ACCS) issued its earnings results on Tuesday. The company reported $0.14 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, beating the consensus estimate of $0.09 by $0.05, FiscalAI reports. The company had revenue of $5.51 million for the quarter. ACCESS Newswire had a negative net margin of 7.86% and a positive return on equity of 4.18%.

Here are the key takeaways from ACCESS Newswire’s conference call:

• Q3 revenue fell 4% year over year to $5.5 million, as core press-release volume declined 15% from a year earlier amid a softer market. Subscription and newer product revenue partly offset the weakness.
• Subscription revenue reached 60% of total revenue; subscribing customers rose to 1,213 after 115 additions in the quarter, and average ARR per subscriber increased 6% year over year to $12,331.
• Despite lower revenue, gross margin was 75% and adjusted EBITDA was $829,000, or 15% of revenue; operating cash flow was $469,000, and the company ended the quarter with nearly $3 million in cash.
• A $1.5 million restructuring completed in October is expected to deliver about $300,000 in savings in Q4, with the full benefit beginning in Q1 2027. Management said the changes are intended to support cash generation and profitability.
• The company is introducing SPOT AI tools and a $249-per-month SMB plan, with add-ons intended to increase customer spending and per-release gross margins. Adoption is described as encouraging, but management’s targets—including a return to revenue growth in 2027—remain forward-looking.
